Mauboussin Fragrance Reviews

Migotka

I never tried the original, so I can only tell you my impressions on the current version.
Which is super lovely. It's like autumn in a bottle. It has a delicious note of plum running through the scent, with peach, jasmine and ylang-ylang. it shares some characteristics with Carla Fracci's Giselle- this sort of almost honeyed ylang'ylang in the drydown.
This scent is not really very modern, it has year 2000 written all over it. It has that sweet quality of floral-fruity fragrances that I kind of associate with Sophia Grojsman's creations. It is however so cosy, so charming, so well done and so delicious, that I wear it with pleasure.
I got a few compliments on it on the first few days of wearing it, while most of the scents I wear never get noticed. On the cold day this smells delightful on a scarf wrapped around your neck.

@lanuitblanche Unfortunately I couldn't agree more with your comment about the new reformulated version. It is absolutely atrocious, I could not even give it away. Nobody wanted it, everybody I tried to pass it on to was repulsed by it. I finally ended up throwing it away... such a waste. Blind buyers please be advised to stay away from the new version: silver cap and silver band under it - it is a waste of money. Trust me it has nothing to do with the old version.

Indiana Jones of Perfumes

First impression is very astringent and masculine thanks to sharp sage like smell with a woody base and panic sets in. I feel like Avatar hero when he lost a fire white deterring ferocious predators and he is plunged into night darkness in the depth of forest, his senses on high alert. Once his eyes get used to the darkness, he discovers shapes, softness, buzzing of fireflies, fluorescent mushrooms, and a quiet yet varied beautiful world is slowly revealed to him, his panic subdues and he starts admiring. A very soft sweetness start emerging through the perfume and it feels like a cook tries to sweeten it up with dry fruits to tone down too astringent/woody smell. Like in cooking, the flavours blends and develops. Astringency goes to hover in the background, leaving you alone. Some balm sweetness from incense/vanilla/patchouli with a few drops of amber ( a bit hard to distinguish) starts emerging like a lotus and blooms emanating gentle smell. Somewhere nearby vanilla flowers opens, gets slightly powdered and it's getting more stronger. Later it smells like someone in a far distance is warming up dry fruits (raisins/prunes) soaked in a cognac. Vanilla frangrance linger nearby soothing, alluring, warming but never overpowering...There are no sweet flowers, no chocolate at all. It's all happening under darkness of a dry starry night with a dew setting as night progress towards dawn in enhanced fragrance of wood, incense, patchouli. I wanted to say it was a quiet dry fragrance sitting close to skin when my boyfriend entered a room started sniffing saying that he could smell something like vanilla fruitcake. This perfume takes you on a journey starting with a fear and panic but ending in peaceful meditation with you radiating mellow inner glow. You will not impress but intrigue others a lot. It's an unique fragrance and I smell no similarity with Angel whatsoever. Maybe, there is a tiny resemblance of sugared patchouli/poppies of kenzo flowers at the end. You cannot compare it with anything because it evolves itself and had its own story. It's like a book you will treasure if you manage to reach to the end with a happy sigh. The longevity is long enough to enjoy it over several hours but alas not all day.

I have the version that "lanuitblanche" describes, and sadly I can only agree. Truly awful, feels like taking a bottle of talcum powder and emptying it in your mouth. Terrible, terrible, terrible.

This scent is an enigma. I don't know how to review it..i have never been so torn about a decision since University when a friend suggested playing swappsies. There is something I find pleasant and something insufferable, I suspect it's Benzoin or the huge quantity of it which tars the whole of the composition with a rather oily/rubbery/plasticky toxicity which is a pity because I loved the spicy, fruity beginning! 4 hours later(yes,it is persistent so if you don't like it you are stuffed for a very long time....)vanilla, fruits and Amber mellow a bit the initial benzoic blast but the annoying note is still perceptible and overpowers every other note. Perhaps if instead of benzoin one used resins, but I can't say I dislike it either, i can see how it can polarise opinions. This is the Tracy Emin of the perfume world. I will leave it aside and go back to it after a while, there is the potential for a great love there..(my bottle is exactly like the one in the picture).

This smells of leather and tobacco, two notes I don't see at all. Oh dear, how confusing. Regardless, I love it.

lanuitblanche

This smells like gasoline and rotting stems steeped in bourbon. Be very careful about which bottle/box you purchase, because the version I received is one of the worst perfumes I have ever smelled (and this is the first time I am posting anything extremely negative!).

Mine came in a purple box with a single silver star/bird on the upperright-hand corner, and the top of the box is silver. The bottle is clear glass (not holographic), with an all-silver cap, and the juice is a dark amber color. The address on the box and the bottom of the bottle says: Mauboussin, LORIENCE PARIS, 50, Avenue de la Grand Armee 75017 Paris France.

DO NOT purchase this version. It is seriously sickening. My hunt for the original version will continue.

Reading these reviews, it's obvious that people perceive this fragrance differently. Mauboussin is so complex, so deep and develops so much, no wonder we can't agree! Anyway I will offer my two pennies, hoping that it can help someone. I have the newer version Edp, purple box and single silver star; the juice is ambery brown and feels thick when first applied. The first thing I smell is Angel, but bear with me; this is Angel reformulated to fit me. I have tried to wear Angel in different iterations, Garden of the Stars, summer editions and so on. I think the type of patchouli Mugler uses is the culprit, but lo and behold the body cream works on me, which brings me to the review at hand. Mauboussin is the spray version of the Angel body cream, it's sweet and complex without the jarring Mugler patchouli note. It starts with a tart and almost boozy plum and berries accord which develops very quickly into an ambery flowery oriental. Just when you think that the awesome opening is done, Mauboussin does a 180 and there it is again, the fruits are back but they are accompanied by the patchouli and amber. The back and forth goes on for a while, and it is so entertaining that I wish the heart lasted longer... The drydown is a very unexpected vanilla orchid powdery musk, almost almondy in its tenderness. It's hard to understand why a brand that produces such bold and daring fragrances treads so timidly and does nothing to promote its perfume line, given the bottles and the juices are outstanding!

I received the purple box with the dark perfume after deliberating about buying this for some time. First spray reminded me of something I couldn't quite put my finger on and then it hit me Annick goutal mon parfum cherie camomile! It was the dominant plum note, divine! A medicinal aura then Amber and patchouli come into play and it smells different but beautiful. Eventually it settles into a sandlewoody vanilla with good longevity. It's certainly an Autumn/ winter fragrance for me but what shocks me about this one is the price, it smells much more expensive than it was! It's a new love for me :)

FruitDiet

Mauboussin is a beautiful plum patchouli incense that is of a spirit with other opaque, futuristic orientals released in the early 2000s like Kingdom, M7, and Nu. It evokes elements of many of my favorite perfumes--the fruity purple medicine of Poison, the chocolate patchouli of Angel, the dried fruit of Coco and Egoiste, the inedible vanilla of L'Instant. Despite containing so much sweetness, it has a dry rubbery medicinal quality that keeps it all in check. It has lasting power for days and smells expensive despite costing dollars more than Tabu. For those who like Serge Lutens' Borneo but haven't $300 to spare, Mauboussin is a similar alternative.

valbona.bergman

Mauboussin is a winter companion. It's warm,spicy and a bit on the bitter smokey side. I think of it like a cross between volupte or tresor and tabu (which i didn't like at all long time ago and i need to change my review for that ,it really grows on you with time...)it's mature and not for the very young ages. I believe that 25+ ages can support this perfume given the circumstances ,style and character.

Just got this recently and tried. Mine is the older version, as in the picture. It is mostly dry smoked prunes and leather. Yes, maybe from this smokiness I definitely get leather which is not in the notes. It is a very unusual perfume. It's moderately sweet, very calm, smoky, cosy and deep.

To my mind, it's a perfect unisex fragrance. Actually husband said he would wear it. Great for autumn and winter and just cooler days.

UPD: The husband now totally made it his own and I love it on him! So I can say now the projection is actually very decent, moderate to heavy. The longevity is great, 7-12 hours on skin. This is a winner, no doubts!

This is such a Unique, gorgeous, sexy scent. The Plum is boozy like a fine brandy mixed with a hint of Amaretto & Vanilla Extract. It's classy & confident. The thick Benzoin, Amber, Sandalwood & Patchouli meld so well & linger on. Classy & Classic. Not for everyone, but I adore it!!

There are different bottles for this Amazing fragrance. I have 2 of them (Both EDP). 1 is the Silver with Purple stars. This one is lighter in color, smells a bit lighter, but has a touch of medicinal scent to it. One is darker in color & smells richer. Both have the same zip code 75016 on the bottom.

Looking forward to getting the one with the Purple on top with Silver strip on the Lower.

**Update-Ordered the One with Purple on Top & Silver strip. I was really looking forward to it, but received a different EDP box. It's all Purple with 1 star & top is Silver . This one has another zip code 75017. It smells closer to the other darker one I have.

Gioia316

I'm not an expert on scents and notes, so I will give you my first impression of this perfume in lay mans terms.

Firstly, I was impressed by the bottle. It's a simple pyramidal design which looks good on a dressing table. It's not a bottle you can slip discretely into your purse, it's definitely designed to be displayed in the boudoir.

So, after reading many reviews which mentioned how strong it was, I cautiously sprayed the inside of my arm. But my initial excitement suddenly turned to horror. I was shocked! I thought 'no!', 'how can this be?'...because the first smell reminded me of the cheapest, nastiest supermarket imitation perfumes mixed with the worst kind of 'old lady' powderyness. My heart sank...

Then a very unusual thing happened. Suddenly, without ANY warning, the scent mysteriously unwrapped itself like an exquisitely ribboned velvet box of ancient treasures.

My heart started racing! It was like experiencing a long forgotten alchemy. This scent seemed to have a life of its own. Like a powerful seductress, she (yes, such was the impact that I now refer to this sent as a 'she')slowly unveiled layer after delicious layer of her most intimate self. This scent was alive and had it's own rhythm of tantalizing elegance.

The first trail of scent was a surprising combination of marzipan steeped in a sweet cherry liqueur. Occasionally, I could detect a passing trail of Turkish delight with a dark cocoa. Earthier tones slowly uncoiled under this subtle sweetness, it reminded me of the heavy scent of a saturated woodland after a thunderstorm.

At one point, I thought it had reached its final transformation and settled into a scent which was a mix of Coco by Chanel and Shalimar by Guerlain. But, yet again, it began to move further. It reminded me of North Africa. Those mysterious combinations of resins, exotic spices and cigars. I immediately remembered the powerful smell of a pure rose ground incense I once bought from a Bedouin woman in Muscat. I remembered how her deeply kohl penciled eyes and long, elegant hands presented this incense like it was retrieved from the garden of the gods.

It has ruined perfumes for me, for I will always measure all other perfumes against this. I can now never settle for anything less than this alchemy.

Mauboussin is not just a perfume. It is a secret. It is the seemingly lost art of capturing a genie in a bottle.

Review for Mauboussin Mauboussin EDT

I'm still quite unsure about this perfume, probably because it doesn't really suit me. I would recommend this one for lovers of medicinal fragrances!

Mauboussin smells like an oriental to me. The opening is characterised by that 'perfumey' plum scent coupled with a boozy cough syrup (that doesn't last for very long). Amber and benzoin make their presence felt as well, and it's a little medicinal, but always smooth, which makes it easy to like. The dry-down is woodier, and it starts to become even more medicinal in the base, which I think is the patchouli or the benzoin here; but it's well-blended, rich, round, deep and sweet throughout.

A heavy to moderate sillage; longevity is for about 6-7 hours. I tried to wear this in the summer but I didn't want it anywhere near me - far too heavy and cloying, so for some, this scent is for use only in the cooler months :)

Jul 20 2015

rednut

Heavy, deep and complex. It has quite a sharp opening and you need to wait 10 minutes to get the scent properly. Patchouli, Amber and Woods dominate this one, lifted by the fruits with the plum lending it depth. After about an hour I get the Cedar. I do not smell any Vanilla and this is not a sweet scent at all on me. I have the EDP and it is a strong scent with great sillage and longevity.

Jul 17 2015

HeavyBeatsUK

My first impressions of this perfume were that it smelled like plum cough sweets but then it settles down into a sweet leathery patchouli. Someone voted this as reminding them of Venezia, which is why I blind-bought this. It smells nothing like Venezia but I'm not completely disappointed. The fragrance is wearable because the sillage is heavy but the fragrance is nothing to get excited about.

woodlandwalk

(Thanks to Yohji for sample :))

I'm definitely reminded of Cartier's Le Baiser du Dragon and @yohji also got that similarity. I completely agree - not amaretto boozy, but like a rich plum liquer. It has that similar slightly unisex feel, but comforting, like a cosy fire on a cold day

This is slightly lighter, maybe sweeter, but still rich, almost chocolaty - very dark chocolate. The pluminess is also rich, yet tart. Benzoin is doing its thing of making this warm and rounded, but the patchouli and woods give it a pleasant rougher darker edge, so that the sweetness is balanced.

It's absolutely suited to Autumn - maybe ideally September since that's harvest time, when you'd collect plums and make them into a delicious crumble or jam.

I like gourmand-ish perfumes when they have depth, this is grounded and quite lovely, probably friendlier in tone than Nagel's inspiration, which was apparently Feminite du Bois but with a completely different 'take'. I think FdB has higher quality ingredients, but Mauboussin is a lovely perfume.

Almost makes me look forward to autumn, but it's a bit heavy for late June!

Longevity excellent, lasted over night. Sillage medium to strong, I'd wear it with a light hand unless in colder weather in the evening

vitabhaya

This reminds me in spirit of vintage Shalimar, worn by a distinguished older lady with class and strength and a glorious bygone but lingering sexiness. Intense, oriental, passionate but composed. It's far too mature for me in my mid thirties, but I love it as it reminds me of the woman I wish to be in thirty years..

May 21 2015

kiristarr

Mauboussin is like Cacharel LouLou Lite on me. The benzoin, plum, and patch combine in a similar way on me, creating that doll's head plastic smell. LouLou, however, is much more medicinal on me, so I find Mauboussin more wearable. I consider LouLou intriguing and an integral part of a perfume collection, yet I don't really like it. It challenges me like an ugly work of modern art I struggle to appreciate. I haven't quite made up my mind about Mauboussin yet.

May 09 2015

MattChartier

For me this is mis-classified, I don't get a chypre feeling from this at all! It's a thick oriental - spicy and sweet and powdery all at once. It's like a fruit-chouli version of Jungle L'Elephant, but bigger and thicker. The benzoin makes it almost edible, but the patchouli reminds you not to take a bite. It's decadent and makes you feel like you've gorged yourself on a thick slice of Pannetone and finished the evening with a shot of amaretto.

May 06 2015

Likute

One of the most beautiful scents for me. It starts with plums brandy, quite sharp, but later its amber soft and warm, oriental and fruity, but not sweet. I want to melt in this :)

Glenn Miller might turn in his grave. The sound of swing became firmly established in 1939 as war engulfed the world. Mauboussin Jewellers of Place Vendome in Paris were celebrating their 100 year anniversary and it stayed within the family until 2002. Two years before the sale Christine Nagel had been commissioned to create a perfume worthy of the Mauboussin reputation, which now carried a 160 year tradition and was as recognisable in France as Tiffanys is in New York. (Shame that Tiffanys bought the French Crown Jewels)

Today Christine Nagel sits with Jean Claude Ellena in the Hermes Bleachers, where her Eau de Cartier is simpatico with the transparent Ellena style.. Is she proud of Mauboussin? In a published interview Ms Nagel said she would have given her life's work, her eye teeth, her soul to the devil (you see, I forget exactly) to have created Feminite du Bois.....perhaps Mauboussin may have been her sincerest form of flattery, given that she would never have imitated it too openly. Plum, woods, patchouli, amber, and rose are all to be found in this delectable darling which morphs beautifully into French élan from its caramel beginning. I love it. It's the full orchestra, everything but the kitchen sink, but dang, it works, just like Glenn Miller's big band. I want a boned corset with a big taffeta lined dance skirt. I want to be in the mood to wear Mauboussin. If you have perfume eating skin, if you don't mind getting a glow on, letting music fill the air, in the shank of the night, when the doin' is right this is for you and you can tell 'em I'll be there.

dagmy

Not my favorite. It brings to mind rumba balenciaga, I suppose because of plum note. I use to wear rumba in the nineties as a consequence of an impulse buy. In fact I left a half bottle of rumba in my mom's bathroom :-}
So, aside the plum, I can smell something sticky in Mauboussin... I mean a kind of plastic thing... Benzoin with ylang ylang? Maybe. I think I will wear this fragrance rarely, just for break up sometimes.

Mar 08 2015

chittylafemme

I had such high hopes for this...but as soon as it hit my skin it was skunk, about a minute later it was a hint of plum and skank in the background and then it disappeared. Disappointed.

Feb 27 2015

Planet_X

Awesomeness. Moreish and so full-bodied, that you want to lose yourself somewhere in that middle amber-phase, like in soft purple eastern cushions. Its oriental-fruity-yummy, not similar yet in same direction where Dragon of Cartier resides. They both oily and oh-so-smooth, but Dragon is Amaretto while Mauboussin is a plum-liquor.
The old version is way better, no surprises here, so if you can - try to buy with box which looks exactly like on this page, (purple divided with silver lines) not completely purple with the stars from the front-right corner one.

Feb 12 2015

lyciumchld

Really, really beautiful. The opening is, as others have mentioned, quite "plummy". It's a wonderful smell, but the dry-down is really where Mauboussin shines. The fragrance shares all but three of its notes with Tabu, and this is pretty evident as it settles; on my skin I get an near-exact duplicate, minus the civet and spices (my mother, a long-time Tabu devotee, agrees). It is, in a word, gorgeous. Silage is good, as is longevity. At less than $40 for a 3oz bottle (and what a bottle!), Mauboussin is a Must-Have for collectors who favor orientals. A+++

Jan 23 2015

Ursa Mater

Enjoyable. If you like plummy and you like Orientals, you will probably like this one. And personally, I do like plum. It's not a love affair, at least not on my end, but I know I'll come back and visit again and stay for tea and have a pleasant time. This is a first impression review but I am left wanting to learn more. It's a really nice price for a full bottle, too.

Constansa

just got it today. another blind buy. what can i say? my first impression was something between disappointment and feeling let it be. citrus with something else. something between vanilla (?) sweet. like my daughter's Wish or Mugler Angel. but after about 30-40 minutes i felt it on me. and it is gorgeous. Sweet but far away from vanilla. balsamic - yes. oriental - yes. heavy - probably.
i have to admit, i like it. not sure for how much i like it but at least i know i will wear it.

Nov 21 2014

PerfumeEmpress

They reformulated this one, too!?!?! Is there anything those con artists will not eff-up ... I mean, reformulate? And no, don't give any hypocritical, mealymouthed excuse about the environment.

Anyway, sorry about the rant, but I feel very strongly about this reformulation nonsense.

I have the original version of this and it is sublime. On me it's sweet (not candy-floss sweet) and oriental. Just the way I like my perfumes to be. I am so happy to know I have the original. It was a blind buy.

Nov 02 2014

diva90403

The top notes are almost killing it for me. Every time I apply it I can`t believe that I didn`t put it on my swap list yet. But after two hours I realize why it is still on my shelf. Then it turns into this pleasant, dusty, deep thing. Almost a little leathery. I love it in spring when the sun is hiding behind clouds and it feels like it`s about to rain, but it`s not.

Sida

Like attempt to treat a hangover from plum brandy with vanilla ice cream, endless portion. I don’t feel it like warm scent.
I’d say it is neither chypre nor aldehydic. The only vintage feature is the process from sharp top to very mild and feminine base.

This was a blind buy I initially didn't like ,I always give perfume a chance, since it can change on you, from mood to season.I started to understand it & grew to really enjoy it! So I read up on it a little & found out there is a pure extrait version of this beauty & I knew I had to get it! Wow!! It's so smooth, I'm in love!! The bottle is in silver in a little purple box, if you enjoy the edt or the edp, I definitely suggest you try to get your hands on this, you won't be sorry!

Apr 22 2014

Hagakure

Hello All, I see that a lot of Fragrantica members are acquainted with this fragrance, so I have one question important from my perspective, as I just consider a blind buy of EDP after reformulation:

Does this one have many resemblances with old vintage perfumes like Chanel 19, 5, Gres Cabochard, Y by YSL or Bob Mackie?, I know these represent different genres, but I am searching for neither noble chypres nor vintage aldehydes with heavy, dry flowers, but rather a sweet, ripe fruits' explosion in the accompaniment of some spices and heavier accords, yet still bringing modern feelings.

Thanks Weegee for the reference it helped me to find an original.
I Think that should be done on all pages if you have any details on the fragrances please fragrantican's please share it was such a good reference.
Now the fragrance i have the original EDT and this is another fantastic freak show of a fragrance. Totally unisex because its very medicinal from the patchouli but more so the benzoin. The top notes have a light plum that is blended well with amber that continuosly wafts back and forth with the benzoin and patchouli. But this fragrance is all about the benzoin. The benzoin makes this very resinous. This stuff is thick..i love that because i know its going to last and project. And this one projects and is smooth and even minty like Vicks. It reminds me of the same family of Midnight Poison but without the vanilla of Poison..its not an exact but a family reference and feel. You have to be into medicinal fragrances to like this and i do so this is such a treat...I can't imagine the newer versions not smelling like this.I think you should definitely test this cause this is a love or hate fragrance not to be blind bought..but if you love vintage or stronger older fragrances this is a must in anyone's collection.Bottle is really kool too.

I can only imagine that Mauboussin is plagued by comparisons to Angel because of the strong patchouli note.
This fragrance does not really have anything in common with Angel aside from patchouli.
I actually find the plum note in here to be sour. I'm guessing because it's yellow plum/mirabelle. I like it. Plum notes can often take on a syrupy, grape soda type smell and there is none of that here.
Aside from the patchouli and plum, benzoin really stands out. The amber is of the smoky variety, not the heavy vanillic sort. Again, thank you Mauboussin for keeping this from going all "sticky".
Overall a deep, earthy Oriental fragrance. Oriental seems to often be a "catch all" term where I'm left thinking "uhhh what.. this smells like cookies.. Oriental?" but this is not the case here.
And yes, the patch is on the dirty/woody side so this is not one for the faint of heart.
This is for the original reformulation. The bottle I have came in the purple box without stars/birds.

weegee

@Maylone, I have both versions of Mauboussin and can give you the information about the boxes.

The box that is purple on the top 2/3 with a silver band around the bottom 1/3 is the original formulation. The address on the bottom of the box is: Mauboussin Parfums, 20, place Vendome, 75001, Place Vendome, Paris France. This original formula is getting difficult to find and is always more expensive. I find it "thicker" and much more complex and smooth than the newer formulation, with none of the sharpness some have mentioned.

You have the newer version. The silver box with purple stars/birds is the eau de parfum and the reversed purple box with silver stars/birds is the eau de toilette. On the bottom of these boxes is this address: Lorience Paris, 64, rue de Ranelagh, 75016, Paris France. Brick & mortar stores and most on-line sellers have ONLY these boxes now so you should have no difficulty getting the version you already have and like.

Dec 05 2013

Maylone

Can anyone explain to me why there are, at least, three different looking boxes for this perfume? I have the silver box with purple stars on it and I've seen a reverse box of this, then there is the box that has a purple upper half with silver on the lower. They all seem to be EDP's, so I have no idea why there's such different packaging. I want to get another bottle of what I have, but I'm unsure wether I need to search for the same box or not? Maybe it's not uncommon for there to be different packaging for the same perfume and I'm just now being confused by it!

New version is but a memory of the descriptions of the vintage version. The one I have has a sharp aldehyde blast, then warms with skin and develops into a cloyingly sweet ylang-ylang enveloped in plastic note, then there's plum-scented powder. No musk, no amber, no patchouli, no spice. Then all fragrance vanishes entirely after 20 minutes. I wonder if the juice is inauthentic. The iridescent pyramid shaped-glass bottle is fantastic, however. I made the mistake of testing this on the left side pulse points and then applying the heavenly Queen Latifah's Queen on the right, and Queen was far and away the preferred — and despite costing half as much.

I bought a bottle of this juice on Amazon, per recommendation of many reviewers. Perhaps, it’s my sensitive nose, but this perfume is too sharp. The sharpness is like a knife cutting thru the beautiful bouquet of flowers.

nikoleta1

Smells like Angel to me with patchouli drydown. pretty, longevity is a few hours on me, not like Angel that lasts a whole day. I imagine this perfume to be sweet floral. Finally got to test it. Nice, a keeper.

lisaivette

Mauboussin,I was finally able to sample, thanks to a swap. This scent is much too complex for me to describe properly, but I will give it a go. The opening first few minutes remind me very much of Cartier Le Baiser Du Dragon. Mauboussin then takes a turn for the dirty instead of the sweet, and this is where I can see the references to similarities of Shalimar.

A smoky incense heavy scent(even though I don't see incense listed) Benzoin and patchouli combined are maybe causing that reaction.This is dense, not smothering, but if over applied I can see where it could part a crowd. It has so many of my favorite notes and aspects. It's woodsy, a little boozy, and it kind of oozes over you.

At this point Mauboussin is a love for me, but now I do see why this would not be a safe blind buy. I am now on the hunt for a full bottle.

I've had this (EDT) for a few days (bought blind online) and still undecided on whether I like it. For me sweet tobacco, a dark fruitiness and long-lingering velvety cocoa are prominent. I did think softer Angel straightaway. On my skin the scent definitely improves as it settles...and it lasts for ages! Looking forward to trying it when it gets colder. Got a feeling it might be a grower!

Received this in a swap. I must say its quite the warm, spicy inviting scent! It will be a nice welcome to the upcoming fall season.. And the bottle is just beautiful.. Very simple but I love the spray top that turns to lock.. Can't stop smelling my wrist!...

Angel in the South

This was a blind buy for me. I wanted to try it due to the good reviews on this site and a good deal on a perfume website. Wow what a lovely surprise. I was worried that the patchouli would be overwhelming. Not so as I found a beautiful woody, plummy smell. I bought the EDP and it is everything that I hoped it would be. It lasted about 6 hours on me which was good. Looking forward to wearing it now that the colder months are on the way. One of my more successful blind buys.

This is a great combination of patchouli&amber with some fruity undertones. I got some plum, but it is not your usual sweet / ripe plum here, it is dark and boozy, and not sweet at all. Perfume has a resinous quality as well, in my opinion, this is a very good composition. Sillage & staying power is quite good too (EDP)

Simply loving days when I am wrapped into this charming and such a lovely-gentle fragrance! At the dry-down faze it reminds me a bit the "8e jour" by Yves Roche. Love them both.

What is going on with all the positive reviews on this thing?? I feel like I'm in opposite land. Words like "pretty", "crowdpleaser", "creamy", "sweet", "yummy", "calm" are being thrown around. Say what now?? I have probably never sprayed something on my skin that smelled this revolting. This is not pretty, creamy, calm. This is a sour, bitter, harsh, LOUD mess, and just plain nasty. An epic fail on my skin. I'm sad because I really thought I would love this scent and even considered blind buying or swapping for it many times. All I can say is that I am very glad I got a chance to sample this from a lovely fellow Fragrantican before I got my hands on a full bottle. There simply are no words.

UPDATE: I'm thinking I must have gotten a bad sample. Would be interesting to try this one again some day and see if we still clash as much...

I got this on a blind buy. I knew by reading thousands of reviews on Mauboussin that I was going to love it.
I DO!

So gorgeous, warm and very sexy.

This perfume is just compelling. At first I didn't like it; it seemed to have a sour note I didn't like. I read the reviews and decided to give it another try. I find I turn to it again and again. I love the fact that it is somewhat unique among the overly sweet florals that are so popular these days. It has more sillage than most, and lasts longer than most. (I've been so disappointed in my Dior's total lack of sillage!) I use this perfume almost daily, because it is just plain compelling. . . and it is so inexpensive. Wow. If you aren't a fan of the super super sweet candy fragrances. this might be for you.

I'm so pleased I took a chance on this blind buy based on the rave reviews here. The notes fit nicely with the ones I usually love(spicy/floral Orientals), and I figured for less than $20, this was a modest gamble. It smelled so beautiful from the first spritz that I thought I'd even forgive it if Mauboussin ended up smelling cheap by the end of the day-- it starts off so nicely. I was surprised, then, that the fragrance remained rich and wonderful throughout the day.

Big longevity and sillage. This smells much better than you would dare to expect for the price tag. I even got a flirtatious pinch from someone today-- is it the perfume? I'll wear it again and find out.

LOVE this fragrance.

I cannot imagine someone, who doesn't like this perfume, it is just so pretty. I'd say it's one of the biggest crowd pleasers I ever smelled, and this definitially includes me. I actually love it.

It's a modern composition, not 80s, as others have mentioned. 80s is only the strength of the fume, you really should use it sparingly to bring out the best. Also you never need to think about reapplying.

It's a chypre by construction, not by effect. In addition the boozy fruitiness makes it very modern. Also it doesn't change and morph like oldschool chypres or orientals, but stays more lineal over all.

The best fruit fume I know.

A must in every wardrobe, imho.

The last couple of weeks I'm experimenting with different aplly techniques, so that it is possible to wear the big and heavy fumes in this underperfumed world, we live in (without scaring the hell out of everybody around me). I had success with Habanita not sprayed, but mixed with unscented body lotion. I guess, for Mauboussin this might also be a good way to wear it at day time. I'll check that out.

I bought this based on reviews on Fragrantica and I adore it. I have never had so many compliments from men and women on a perfume I was wearing. Others have described it very well, suffice it to say it is unique, heady, nothing like Angel to my nose, it's a powerful, sensual, exotic brew that lasts and lasts . Pure perfection.

I really like it, it's a perfume with character but I wouldn't buy a full bottle, it turns quite masculine on me. But I like it's smell!
Patchouli is also dominant in this composition...It seems that it's a bit difficult for perfumers to creat a composition with patchouli, where it won't dominate the whole compo.

marsiesmoon

Just a quick *note* on this one..I find it smells much lovelier on my clothes than on my skin.The scent lingers and if I pick up an item which still has this scent I am in Heaven. I had been wearing it to bed for awhile, as it seemed to do best at night and was a relaxing scent after a shower. I would say on me, it is a boozy amber plum throughout.

I decided today to venture out with it on a big comfy sweater and twice, once early am, once in the evening I got :"OMG..what is that perfume you are wearing, it's amazing!" Nearly identical compliments(about 8 hours apart without reapp.) maybe it will be more than a bedtime scent afterall.

In an effort to embrace a scent or two that were actually created in this century, I purchased a mini EDP of Mauboussin. Both the bottle design and the reviews here inspired me to consider this fragrance. Generally I have done very well with fragrances of the great jewelers of Europe particularly those born on Place Vendome. Additionally the Mirabelle and Yellow Plum intrigued me.

I wore this fragrance three times. The first time, I applied my normal conservative amount, three dabs i.e. on inner elbows and base of throat on moisturized skin. After a very beautiful opening, which was surprisingly long lasting the fragrance dried down to non existence. I later applied it again that day with a repeat of the same performance.

The second day, I applied double my normal amount and was again scentless within two to three hours.

The third time I tripled my normal amount. The opening in this instance lasted almost two hours and was quite beautiful and very intriguing. Over the next 8 hours it changed directions several times. At one point it seemed very cloying and unpleasant but that disappeared and something calmer, sweeter and suggestive of cashmere sweaters evolved.

I'm fairly certain that this potion will not become part of my repetoire. It has many ingredients in common with Organza Indecence, but that fragrance seems to suit me better. The manner in which the Mauboussin kept morphing led me to question it's stability. Also due to needing to use a lot of it to get any results makes this a less than economical choice.

I will enjoy inhaling this pretty fragrance on others!

The plum and the benzoin waltz together while the ylang and sandalwood are in balance with the vanilla. The woody/cedar drydown lasts 12+ hours on my skin, with the plum peeking in and out the whole time . One or two sprays is plenty. Intriguing, and a real winter treat. It's ideal in dry, cold weather and I love it!

This review is a long time coming...having tried this several times over the last year and basically hating it, I finally saw a 3.3oz bottle at TJMaxx going for 14 bucks over the Christmas holiday. I figured if I just didn't like it then, I was never going to like it. I guess in my case it took some cold weather for me to enjoy this scent.

Its fruity, and sweet; As I've tried this more than a few times, I get honey, plums and citrus is very up front. In cooler weather (at least for me ) that sweetness is manageable, whereas in warmer or humid weather its like I'm smothering under a plum syrup blanket.

The spice kicks up about 30 minutes in, and I smell a faint almond smell, a bit of spice, and that sandalwood/amber mix...yum!

At about hour one I get a lovely spiced rose. Again, having tried this one out during hotter months this was way killer...and not in a good way.

Lasts on me for quite a long time. I've worn this and smelled it the next day, though faintly. Sillage can be a bit aggressive if you use a lot (4+ sprays) but otherwise, I think a 2 shot spray or a walk through is fantastic for this scent.

I still don't understand how anyone could wear this in warm weather. or maybe just on me there's no way I can because i'd be in a diabetic coma! I'll just keep this as my cold weather baby :-)

I decided to try this fragrance after pouring through a recommendation thread for plum notes, and I ended up with a large bottle of the EDT in a swap.

A very brief, almost biting, citrus opening, which I really did not like at all. Once this dissipates (10-15 mins), the plum takes centre stage.

Oddly, I did not really get any of the heart floral notes until much, much later on. In particular, the ylang ylang lingered on my sweater the next day.

The basenotes are predominant to my nose for most of the life of this fragrance. Benzoine, amber, patchouli (light), vanilla, with just a sprinkling of sandalwood. The result is a warm, cozy, powdery scent, with the plum lasting well into the dry down. Definitely a cold weather fragrance --- it made me feel wrapped up in some fuzzy blanket, but I think the sweetness would be too much in summer temperatures.

Excellent in terms of longevity, and heavy silleage.

I also tried the EDP (a mini which was generously included with my swap for comparison). Perhaps the plum is a bit more apparent at the 1-2hr stage, but other than that small difference I believe the same effect can be achieved by controlling the amount applied.

As an aside, the bottle is interesting and eye-catching but awkward. The EDT is in clear glass, while the EDP comes in a rainbow-reflective type glass. In additon, the EDP has a purple collar to the bottle, while the EDT is all silver.

Bought this blind online and when I recieved it I tried to like it but found it to smell revolting, now I'm stuck with a practically full bottle :( lesson learnt never blind buy a fragrance.

I was inspired by fellow Frangrantican, chowchow41, to try this and I'm very happy I gave it a shot! This was a total blind buy for me, but after reading her review and seeing her suggest this frag to so many others,I thought I would give it a whirl.

First off, I smell a smoky (incensy?) plum laced with patchouli and it stays that way for around 30min. Then it becomes more sweet (not candy sweet) and woodsy. The benzoin really stands out on my skin as it dries, but it's very creamy no less. I notice some slight nuances of amber and only a hint of vanilla, but that's ok.

This is a cold weather frag; the notes won't be nearly as creamy or comforting and warmer temps won't do it justice. Also, I found the longevity and sillage to be excellent as well. Mauboussin is very unusual, which seems to be the norm for me lately; something that not everyone else is wearing. This is also an attention getter as well; I noticed several people looking my way as I passed and even caught one lady catching a whiff! LOL

Definitely worth trying if you like woodsy scents or if you're wanting to depart from the ordinary. Special thanks to chowchow41 for the inspiration to try it! :)

An intuitive blindbuy and love at first sniff. Mauboussin Mauboussin EDT reformulated is such a happiness potion for me that I cannot imagine how fabulous the prereformulated version must have been!

What do we have here? Ripe yellow and purple plum, sweet benzoin, delicately rendered patchouli, fresh vanille, soft amber, powdery ylang-ylang and woods as easily identifiable notes that mellow into a crafty, opulent and soothing concoction. The scent is a fruity chypre, but can be considered oriental woody due to its perfect rendition of benzoin and woods with almost gourmet accords. Its not overly but distinctly sweet and so comforting to the troubled heart and body!

Wearing it makes me feel so enveloped and cuddled as if thoroughly protected from the evils of the world. I cannot refrain from sniffing my wrists, but the scent is quite prominent, so it's enough to move myself in order to experience the warm breath of powdery dry and mouthwatering yumminess.
Great lasting power - no need to reapply throughout the day, unless you really want to douse yourself in it for the pleasure of sheer indulgence. Somehow, it reminds of Cartier LBDD EDP and Gres Goddess, but it stands out on its own.

MM is another Prozac in a perfume bottle for autumn/winter depression and an absolute must have in my fragrant collection.

Loved this! First time people were asking me which perfume I was wearing, all the time! In the beginning I was a bit 'afraid' of the sillage later on I really appreciated it that the scent was 'surrounding' me.

lastnightscent

Along with Jovan Musk for Women, this perfume convinced me against blind buying based on stellar reviews. I really didn't like it. It just smells stuffy and old to me, a real overwhelming, suffocating kind of stuffiness. I'll continue giving it chances every once in a while, but the future's not looking bright (albeit I love the bottle).

Conifer lover

I loved this at first sniff. So much anticipation from reading review after review. I was also intrigued by the notes. To me this is very pleasant in the beginning fruity, sweet and up lifting.

A very generous member of Basenotes gifted me a sample. Wow, woods through and through, fresh, clean and a little spicy. I can still smell this more than 12 hours later.

WOW. Okay, I have both... EDT and EDP are definitely different!

On initial spray, the EDT has more of that familiar "oriental" scent to it in the same vein as Kenzo Oriental & Coco Chanel. The plum is not as noticeable other than it is a kissing cousin of Kenzo Jungle Elephant, and the oriental-ness is light. But yes, I understand why everyone mentions K.J.E.

I smell no floral whatsoever, and the patch and cedar are super light, if not just imaginary to my nose. The dry down is a lovely sweet benzoin amber powdery wonderful heaven scent. I actually fell in love with this version of Mauboussin due to the light oriental and faint reminder of Kenzo Jungle, but MOSTLY for that delicious sweet dry down. OMG! This is the same dry down you get with Sensuous Noir. They are nothing alike at the top or heart, but that base is identical. Sensuous Noir has that great punch-you-in-the-face patchouli opening... where I can't detect patchouli here much at all. Which is odd, seeing as the patch is the #1 scent on the notes listed above.

Then I bought the EDP: Okay... where one reviewer said she "hates" the EDT and loves the EDP, I'm living in opposite land. The EDP is way too heavy on the plum (and is that REALLY PLUM? It's so not plum to me, but obviously it's "something" (!), and nothing else in the notes would explain it.) I think it's prune.

Not overly sweet. Though it is thick. Cloying. Heavier and more pungent than Jungle Elephant. HOWEVER, as much as I have a hard time with the first 5 minutes, it's REALLY great after that. The "plum" note (The Kenzo-esque part) does linger much longer in the EDP than it does in the EDT.

The drydown is identical to what I wrote above for the EDT, except that the "plum" note lingers much longer into the heart and actually into the first few hours of drydown.

My advice: Get both. Use the EDT in spring summer, and the EDP in Fall & Winter.

If you want something that LASTS, this is your perfume, use the EDP! WOW... Besides my K.J.E. and my Serge Lutens Jeux de Peau's longevity, this juice is potent and right up there with those two with MONSTER longevity.

And, P.S. for the price?!? PEOPLE!!! This is a huge bargain at twice the price! I own 2 EDT's and 1 EDP, and I'm considering getting another one just cuz it's so in-expensive, and this is now in my top 3 "go to's".

Edit: I just read Sandra Raicevic Petrovic's (sandrina_bambina) Report from TFWA 2012 Cannes and it states the following WONDERFUL news about Mauboussin: "The news reports from the Lorience booth will delight lovers of the Mauboussin, Courreges and Lulu Castagnette fragrances. Mauboussin launched the oriental version of Mauboussin, which arrives in a dark bottle and is named Mauboussin L'Elixir pour Elle. There are also men's Mauboussin Pour Lui and Mauboussin Neroli, in a golden pyramid-shaped bottle, dominated by orange blossom absolute and the absolute of Tunisian neroli."

Woo-Hoo!

I have the EDT: Wonderful. Ever so slightly reminiscent of Kenzo's Jungle Elephant... But I also sprayed this on top of a 2 hour old application of St. Tropez Dispenser Apres Soleil by Smell Bent, so I'm not sure if that is why I am getting that relationship or not.

I am a CK Obsession lover. I also love S.L. Ambre Sultan and and A.G. Ambre Fetiche... so yeah, I like em strong. This is not as strong or overpowering as the three I just listed, as far as strength and sillage go. And it does not have the sillage of Kenzo Jungle either... but it IS up there so, I agree it is not for the "faint of heart" as numbr9 stated. :D

I'm getting sweet plum. Is that sweet the chocolate? I think so, but it's not an in your face chocolate.

Not really seeing this related to Angel much. 3rd cousin 15 times removed maybe. To me, this patchouli is understated.

This rides on the amber, benzoic, vanilla base so beautifully.

sky76sky does a great job describing how I experience this scent.

For the price, you can't go wrong. I'm picking up a back up bottle of this!!! And probably will want the EDP for an even MORE super strength. I want people to SEE my scent trail when I go by.

MY SIGNATURE SCENT !!! Delicious, excellent longevity and crazy sillage.
I receive a lot of compliments when I wore it. I put it in the morning and on the other day,when I awake is still there: it is PERFECT! = I DO LOVE THIS SO MUCH !!! Smells lovely,delightful ... AMAZING !
Thank you MAUBOUSSIN !!! Thank you CHRISTINE NAGEL !!!

onesexygrammy

I wish I detected fruit. For me its a rich smoke filled opening. It sweetens over time, but holds on to the top notes throughout the day. A coworker commented " I smell incense...." It seemed that she couldn't detect where it was coming from even though I was sitting right next to her. It doesn't send out a vibe that is tame enough for an office setting. And go lightly if you put it on at bedtime. I overdid it once and gave myself a nasty little headache. I will keep it for winter or evening use.

I bought this blind, because the notes really are my thing. It wasn't expensive for a 100ml so I got the large bottle.

I got it in the mail on a very hot day and I wanted to wear it that same day... bad decision. I smelled like sweaty armpit (= patchouli on a hot day!!). Not a very attractive smell....

I wore it a couple of other times when it was not hot at all... AMAZING. Creamy, sexy, special, out there, noticable, gorgeous, yummie, feminine, ... I have fallen in love with this scent. It is one of the best perfumes out there.

Got this in the post today, wasn't sure at first kind of too musky; smelled a bit too mature for me but after a couple of minutes I really warmed to it! I adore it, this fragrance lasts for hours and hours without being too strong and woody tones make it calm and sweet, perfect!!

Just as an update, I have worn this perfume pretty much everyday since I got it. And to my delight it has become the only perfume that I have ever been complimented on! :) Both the compliments came from people in my life who are a bit alternative/hippy and would rather wear patchouli or sandalwood oil (which I am quite partial to myself) than department store perfumes. I really do think this perfume is a special find and I love it's uniqueness! :)

Ooohh, this smells like if you mix two drops of Badgley Mischka Badgley Mischka with one drop of Angel, really. The best silage from my whole perfume collection and super longevity. Rich and full oriental, very sweet perfume with a sour notch in it. I spray it on my pillow, bevor getting to sleep. LOVE, LOVE IT! Only for woman.

darlingdraven

This is what I was looking for when I tested minis of Shalimar and Imari. I can't explain it, others who have favored this perfume have wonderful reviews. All I can say is that I enjoy it and it works for all sorts of occasions. It does smell a little like a lighter Angel, which is good as I love Angel and others may think it is too heavy. It is mature but not too overly mature to my nose.

Jul 15 2012

Lumiere

This is a luxury deep scent that wraps you up like a cloud. Makes me think of freshly cooked dark plum jam, from the best sort of plums, transparent but in thick honey-like syrup, Even though sweet, there is certain depth and heaviness in it. It makes you noticable and people will feel your presence. It's mysterious and sophysticated, I am thinking of refined conversations about art snd all fine things, in selected company, maybe savouring best quality cogniac with people who know how to appreciate it.

For some reason, when i first tried it-as it was a blind purchase based on enigmatic rreviews here-thank you to all who provided-I thought of Angel by Mugler. Sweet patchouli vanilla-however Maboussin has certain tartiness to it, it is sweet but with a hint of irony, as if saying, after all, I am not taking myself so serious or making a statement, I just play with it and see how it feels. Definitely a different and dignified scent.

I want to wear a bit oversized, good quality cotton white shirt with it, for a bit bohemian look, as this fragraance is clothes enough by itself.

I want to warn you that a bottle has a turning nozzle-you can open and close it. I have received my bottle and it has leaked about 1-2 cm. Also, it has a silver cap, not purple, how it is shown on main picture. It is packed in a silver box with purple flying stars, with not much padding inside.I would have expected a bit better packaging for such beautiful fragrance.

I am thinking Smoked Prunes with walnut centre soaked in liquier in thin coat of black chocolate. Who comes from eastern europe, knows what I am talking about:))

mahadewi

I think this is probably the best perfume I have ever tried! This will definitely be my new signature scent, I am in love!!! :) I am no perfume expert so can't describe the notes, but I think if you like sweet, bold (but not in your face) patchouli based perfumes you could like this. The drydown is the best part, to me it smells very similar to Juliette Has a Gun Midnight Oud (which is out of my price-range but I also love). The sillage is fantastic as is the staying-power. Can't say enough good things about this perfume, it makes me feel happy and comfortable but sexy and exotic at the same time! I don't find it a mature or "old lady" scent at all although I can understand that it could come across that way at the beginning. If you don't like it at first spray, wait for the drydown and you might change your mind :)

I ordered this online, only based on the written description but I have to say I was really disappointed. To me it smells stale and is like headache in a bottle.
I tried to wear it few times to see if it might change during the day, but it didn't , so I gave it to someone who actually liked it.

Out of all of the fruity patchoulis that followed Angel, this is the only one I really love. Most of the fruit-choulis seem bimbo-ish to me, including Miss Dior Cherie (strawberry), Coco Mademoiselle (citrus), and Badgely Mischka (peach-chouli). Plum seems to be the key to make this combination a little more sophisticated. Maybe the dryer sweetness of plum keeps it all from going over the top. I agree with other reviewers that it seems like it should be a winter perfume, but I have worn it year-round. Note: the bottle is not actually iridescent, but it hardly matters given the price/quality ratio. My most successful blind buy.

May 06 2012

Aqua218

Very unique. Initially a fruity chypre mellowing down to a dry-smoky-woodsy oriental, thanks to the benzoin and vanilla. Out of my entire perfume collection, this one seems to elicit the most compliments and enquiries from both men and women. Cozy and comforting in winter and erotically intoxicating on hot summer nights.

chowchow41

My Mauboussin edp, i got to know you 11 years ago and fell deeply in love with you. You are warm, seductive and feminine in a beautiful botlle. Youre powdery patchouli with lovely amber combined with plum and benzoin is a perfect match. You always get complimented when im wearing you, you make a statement and everybody wants to know youre name. But let me tell you something i am glad that youre not a well known one, so i kinda can keep you to myself. I love you.

blueberrymuffin

Beautiful perfume, sweet-sour plum notes at the beginning, flowery heart and very distinctive patchouli, sandalwood and vanilla drydown. Excellent longevity and strength. So it is probably better to dab on than spray.In my opinion,it is a bit similar to Talisman(EDP).

Feb 18 2012

meg1969

I try to like something in every fragrance. This, however, is the most dissonant composition of sweet, woodsy, herbal, chocolate I have ever smelled. Just a bizarre set of CLOYING notes. When my pet made a mess on the floor, after I cleaned up, I cracked open the ugly bottle and used the contents to "cover up" the odor. Big mistake. It actually made the house smell worse. This is the only harsh review I have written about a scent, maybe I just have a strong reaction to sweet woodsy smells. If you like that sort of thing, this is the scent for you.

Jan 24 2012

greek_goddes

I don't know why but i keep smelling chocolate and patchouli in it!
I like it but only for cold weather.

I bought it thinking I would have a replacement for Theorama, but no. Too peppery/burnt for me. If I could remove that ONE smell, I would love it.

nikkiboy

One of the best perfumes I have smelled in a long time, I get stopped every single time and asked what I am wearing. Lovely dried fruit accord but not too sweet, warm and comforting with a base note of Patchouli, not the Hippie kind more a fresh herbal note. Lovely.

stella by starlight

i dont like it very much. too much plum brandy and burnt rubber. after it dries down its more pleasent but still not something i would wear.

Mauboussin is a big-boned inedible fruity oriental. It doesn’t always strike me as appealing, but it’s always striking. The fruit, plummy, peachy, mandarin, is just a bit rotten. It’s turned fruit that smells good in a brandy-like way but also warns you that it’s no longer edible. Actually, boozy isn’t quite it. Turned fruit and benzoin together smell to me like bitter, alcohol based herbal tinctures. It’s all a reflection of that push-pull food-but not-edible quality that the only gourmands I like seem to have.

The dissonance lasts to drydown when dusty cedar and sweet patchouli fight for the dominant woody tone. Mauboussin is not so much either conflicted or indecisive as ready to pounce one way or the other at a given moment.

I have an EDT, and it's a real sillage monster, especially for an EDT concentration. To my nose it's quite spicy...very along the lines of Moschino and Kenzo Elephant. When I sniff my wrist I also detect peaches and plums, but as the perfume projects from the skin the fruit notes blend in and don't stand out. I would also put Mauboussin in the category of "intoxicating" scents...it definitely has that femme fatale presence. Simply gorgeous fragrance!
The longevity is average though...gone after about 3 hours.
I was very intrigued by the reviews saying that EDP is a deeper and richer version, so I couldn't help it and ordered a bottle of EDP as well. Can't wait to try it!

empressevie

I feel like an idiot. Bought this, unsniffed, bought two bottles actually. Tried the first in what was our autumn winter and...hated it!!

Too oily, too syrupy, too rubbery, too fruity.

So, decided I'd write that review and offer both for swap...
But, luckily, decided to try it again, before I went ahead.

OOOOOOOO. In this warmer weather, went on sweet, multi-layered, rich, enticing. A very delectable combination of fruit, amber and patchouli. So, fruity rich, but with the depth that I yearn for. The other surprise for me is that most think this is a winter smell. For me, these notes come out to dance in the warmth, and work with the sun, and seemed rank and sour in the cold.

Another lesson in trying a perfume over a long, varied period of time and clime!!

"Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about dancing in the rain."

Good luck!

Mauboussin EDP by Mauboussin is not actually a fruity chypre but quite close. I mean, it lacks the classical chypre drydown. However, for me it is the right extent of chypre'ness that makes it quite distinctive if compared to ordinary fruities and still wearable without usual chypre concerns. Mauboussin EDT lacks EDP's personality and therefore may have less fans. Mauboussin EDP is one of those scents that may be well worn everyday and on
a special occasion. Sillage is great, if you don't want your sweater smell for 3 days, avoid spraying on it.

I found a mini of this gem at my local perfume shop, and was so smitten with the dark, syrupy plum-vanilla that I immediately purchased a 100ml online. For $35, it was a steal!

Unfortunately one of my versions (the mini or the 100ml) must be old or otherwise off as they smell completely different from each other. While both say EDP, the mini's liquid is dark orange whereas the 100ml is a light yellow. The most significant difference, of course, is the scent. The mini is a dark, voluptuous plum with a heavy dollop of vanilla, whereas the 100ml has a drier, plasticky, more powdery aspect that reminds me of fruit left out to dry for way too long. I'm suspecting that either my mini has turned (it was out on display at the store when I bought it) or it might actually have been the EDT. I'll have to find a tester of the EDT to verify, but as of now I love my mini and am unsure about the 100ml.

This fragrance is very interesting, I woulkd say that is a dark woody chypre oriental with a fruty veil. Its very strong, sweet and serious in a way it must be weared only in formal, dressed up occasions. The resins and patchouli are the main notes but the plum is in the backstage to. I like it very mutch, although the top notes are alcholic ans harsh because of a not so well balanced bergamot.
I like it but I'm not sure if I'm going to wear it mutch nowadays.
Anyway, its a classic chic perfume and I'm surprised it was made in 2000.
Get it if you are a patchouli lover!

I was given this by a dear friend of mine for my birthday 2 years ago; at the beginning I was not convinced, 'cause I thought it was not my style at all, so this nice, cute elegant bottle was left closed in his box on the shelf! but....something happened!!! I don't know why, but I was captured from the bottle and decided to give him another try! well...it's an old fashioned style perfume, ones of those that evokes memories of the 50's divas, powder, lipstick...and perfume!!! if you like this picture, Mauboussin is for you. patchouly is very strong but because of the bergamot and mandarine is cool and refreshening at the same time. it is very persistent, lasts for hours. love it

a perfume for life! it will be never oldfashioned or outdated, it's a timeless beauty, slightly gourmandish, elegant, classy, sophisticated, tempting, intriguing. a vanilla-caramelish delight with all the most precious woods, the most delicious fruits and the most beautiful smelling powdery sweet flowers in this world in one bottle. must have for every women of every age which one loves real perfumes profundly!

This is soft comfy delight. It has some soft powder, not too sweet and nothing harsh or discordant. I get a delicious soft tobacco scent from this. I love how it smells on me before the powder becomes more pronounced, but even later I like it a lot- this is a powder I can not only tolerate but enjoy:it's not dusty ancient scratchy or too dry. It is not a tween baby powder- it even manages to have character without becoming overbearing or too serious. It works- and I rarely find likable most fragrances that are designed to be primarily powdery or which unintentionally turn powdery.
It'll never replace my beloved Theorema, and yeah, it's a bit powdery but it's comforting and interesting and great stuff.

I really used to love Fendi's Theorama, and bought this based on LT's idea that this one smelled similar, maybe because Christine Nagel made it as well.

Has way too much pepper for my nose, and hurts my throat. So sad!

Mauboussin is different-certainly not what I expected. I thought I'd get smoke, spice and tobacco, not a plum honey jam faintly reminiscent of Poison. I didn't get an Angel connection, like many reviewers did. feeling, if anything, it was more akin to Cssmir.
The beginning is sweet. but as it develops, the patchouli and cedar peeking out lend a nice woodsy edge to the plums. Fruit and woods-hmmmmmmmmmmmm-makes me think...bears! LOL. Seriously, though, if you like woody scents tempered by luscious, lush fruitiness-Mauboussin just might be your baby. Sandalwood and amber fans like me will adore the drydown, and the bottle is cool, too. Surprisingly, I didn't miss the spice. A keeper.

Mauboussin update: A friend at work always complemented on how good I smelt....
Of course that always makes me very happy and puts a spring in my day....She had never heard of it, as per normal, no one knows of it over here.
I then purchased a bottle EDP the best, at her request, she loved it for a few warming, fleeting hours, but as she loves her daughter immensely and has not seen her for 2 years or more she sent it to her daughter in Africa, as she does with the majority of her aquired divine perfumes.........
I said, "How can you be without your Mauboussin, this is one fume you deserve to hang on to?" Her reply was, "Buy me another bottle, is truly a beautiful scent that Loves me too and yes I deserve this little touch of paradise".
Truly a perfume for the warm hearted, soul searching individual woman, who appreciates a bit of sensuality and class......... A Favourite....xx

(unsure if my sample is EDT or EDP)

My first thought when I smelled this was 'this has cedar in it', and sure enough, it does. This is what really stands out on me. Like many reviewers below, I get zero plum, and zero smokey or incense accords.

But I do get lace doilies kept in the cedar chest for a few decades. I just reviewed a cedar heavy fragrance with Kurkdjian's absolue pour le soir, and this note should be crisp and dry. Here it is dusty and stale.

I also wore one of my favorites today that features plum, and this note should be fat, oily and crystalizing; here it is a bit...ripe.

I do think this makes for a good comfort scent, but if I really want a fruity chypre I have Mitsouko...

Take it easy with this one!! It is a very strong, full bodied fragrance. Just a couple of sprays to the front of you, that you walk into, is enough. Better to have less, and add, than put too much. It's perfect for cold weather. I had the EDT which I HATED. Pungent, sickly plum notes and just horrid. Then i took the plunge to buy the EDP (of which I had a small sample of). I love it... It's so special, smokey, sexy, sweet, mysterious. Really worthy trying before you buy, but it's really nice to have on in the right climate and setting.

Strong dried fruit at first, with a Tobacco Vanille quality (though without a "real" tobacco note). After a few hours it changes into a Barbara Bui or Kenzo Amour EdP type of fragrance, which is a dry, vanillic sandalwood (in this case it seems like it's combined with another wood note). Imagine icing on wedding cake that is dried to a powder and sprinkled on a wood plank. It's very well done, but strong. After a few samplings I swapped mine off, because there is such a dry wood aspect to it that it begins to irritate me after a while. As you might expect, projection and longevity are great. For men who like fragrances like Joop! Homme, you might want to try this.

Sassy1

Okay, who was playing with the scuba gear when they made this one?
After the initial medicinal slightly sweet fruityness, I get a long period of black rubber tubing and menthol. No tuberose listed as a note, so not sure where the rubber is coming from.
Finally after 1-2 hours, the oriental flavor kicks in and this part is wonderful. It must also be made of quality stuff as I could still smell drifts of it into the next day. (EDP)
All in all, this one is too "artsy" and difficult for me.
It may be a wonder of perfume workmanship but I shouldn't have to work so hard to like it.
I want something that smells interesting but it also has to smell good.
Pass...

I find this fragrance better dabbed on than sprayed--it's very potent. It reminds me of rum spice cakes that we have during Christmas- dark, rich, spicy with a touch of liqueur. It's not an everyday fragrance for me, but I do find myself reaching for this when the days are cooler and the leaves are starting to fall off the trees.

One of my favourites, along with Kenzo Jungle and Opium.I would describe it as an oriental,spicy, warm,sexy and undoubtably intoxicating. Lasts for ever on my skin, always get compliments on it, and no one has heard of it when they ask me what perfume I am wearing. Love that I only know me, who has Mauboussin. x

hollycat

The first initial stages of this smell is similar to TM Angel on my skin. I think its the over ripe plum note that gives me the impression of the dark chocolate note I love so much in Angel. It actually smells so similar to Angel on me that it would be pointless to buy a bottle of this. I enjoy it, but I love my Angel much more. This dries down to a fruity, gourmand, vanillic scent. Sweet but not cloying.

Fruity Chrype??? Smells like an oriental to me.

sherapop

To my nose, MAUBOUSSIN is a dark, smokey oriental--not a chypre--with nearly no sweetness at all. What others describe as "plum wine" or "plum pudding" smells to my nose more like the odor emitted by an appliance that has been overheated or is on the verge of shortcircuiting!

The dominant dark, subterranean mystery note could be an oily leather or a over-roasted tobacco, I suppose, but it smells more to my nose like burnt rubber. Or perhaps a plum compote left to simmer too long on the burner, bubbling like the potion in a witch's cauldron before settling to a gooey tarlike layer at the bottom of the pan?

I wholeheartedly concur that MAUBOUSSIN is unique, but it is not working with my skin's chemistry, and I won't be adding this one to my collection. Désolée!

NebraskaLovesScent

Mauboussin is a gorgeous chypre fruity, bordering on oriental.

Upon first sniff, I wondered if someone had skimmed and bottled the peaches from my beloved Guerlain Mitsouko. The peach note dominates this scent rather than the plum for me, but all the fruits smell ripe and freshly-sliced, without any added sugar or cream. The dry-down becomes warm and woody, less sweet and with a pronounced cedar note on my skin. I don't get the similarities to Angel or Shalimar that others have mentioned. Prada seems a bit closer, with some luscious peaches on top, but Mauboussin is truly unique.

The EDT has great sillage and decent longevity. A little drop or two will suffice. I'm so sorry to have found this one in Springtime. It may be a bit too heavy for warm weather but I know it will be divine when winter returns.

I bought Mauboussin quite a while ago. Used it last night for the first time - we have a sliding door in the bedroom that leads onto the pool patio. I was getting dressed and the door was open - my husband walked by and called me outside - asking if I could smell Rum and Maple tobacco? I rest my case.

tessture

I get an oriental fruity floral, but instead of the modern thin fruity/floral scents, this one is complex and layered enough to smell classic and formal. Very nice, with a golden feeling.

Malegria

I bought it untried, charmed by reviews and by promises of a boozy plum note.Well - it`s there!Resinous, strong,slightly astringent and sour, it has the quality of a plum brandy in the making - bubbly, fizzy, heady and intoxicating - when the fruits ferment, mixed with sugar.But I don`t find any similarities with other well known perfumes, and it does not last on me as long as I expected.I love it anyway and probably will get another bottle.

Jan 02 2009

Sashinka

I bought this unsmelled just from reviews, & I'm glad I did! I smell more spice and incense than chocolate and cream from Mauboussin Jalutschka. I do get some dried plums, patchouli, and amber. A "warm" scent to wrap yourself in on chilly days. Loads of sillage. Not for the faint of heart.

Jan 02 2009

zielona

My beloved patchouli brilliantly mixed with sweet tobacco and plum accords. Warm, vibrant and dry as the autumn, golden leaves. Very powerful, but not boring or overwhelming. Great blend of wood and benzoin in heart notes, makes me feel absolutely blissful.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this is a true autumn in a bottle. I never use it during other seasons, it just wouldn't feel right.

But! Beware, recently they decided to reformulate Maubou. Fortunately I have the 'old' version of EdT, fortunately - because the difference IS very palpable: the new version [especially in EdP] is horribly flat and much too sweet. Why oh why, I ask thee?

Oct 16 2009

parisa

Unfortunately, I don`t detect any plum here (my favourite fruit note), just apricot and peach. Not that bad, but too much vanillasugar-like in a drydown. Also, I don`t detect anything chypre in this, and I love chypre. Fruity-vanilla it is, not my cup of tea.

Sep 28 2009

Mals86

Rich as fruitcake - and similarly polarizing. One of those love-it or hate-it scents.

I loved it, from the plummy liqueur up top through the peachy-rose-ylang heart, all the way through the absolutely delicious (but inedible)drydown. I think it may be the benzoin-vanilla-woods-amber combination that reminds me of the drydown of Shalimar Light, which I also love.

I am dabbing instead of spraying, and do not find the opening overwhelming. Sometimes that makes a difference with strong scents, in my opinion.

I despise Angel and don't see a lot of resemblance, although I do get hints of Shalimar in the drydown.

Miss_Nightingale

Powerful Plum Pummels Pitilessly would be the tabloid headline for the opening blast of this perfume - it's a strong statement and may well put off some delicate types who might have loved the ending but couldn't stay with it long enough to find out.

Luckily, I love strong, statement-making perfumes and am a huge fan of plum, but even for me the opening is a little... brash. It feels very 1980's at that stage - all shoulder-pads and swagger - but I am here to add my voice to the choir singing Mauboussin's praises and advising you to be patient: it's totally worth your while.

After that initial half hour of timewarping comes a richly boozy treat, a plum pudding of deliciousness that slowly unfurls into an incredibly surprising Turkish rose explosion of petals. Surprising only because when I see rose notes buried beneath a list of strong 'flavours', they barely show a hint of their ankles. Here, we have a rose note doing a veritable Can-Can dance, flashing the frilly knickers and all! A sumptuous stage to be savoured - and I am not usually a rosey kind of gal unless, as here, it's decadently sexy.

The boozy plum mellows after a while into a bramble jelly - the kind to be eaten with pheasant - slightly tart, richly delicious.

Several hours after my initial spray and I am at the deeply comforting stage of the dry vanilla with a sprinkling of cocoa - powder; something akin to opening a box of indecently expensive handmade truffles - certainly not an overpowering sweetness, and not at all that noisome, cloyingly fake note that many lesser perfumes linger on. It reminds me of the same stage in Chopard's Casmir (another of my favorites) - with an almost savoury saltiness lurking in the background of the vanilla-pod infused peachiness.

I suppose I can see *some* similarities between this and Angel. Lest you hitch up your skirts and run screaming - fear not, gentle reader, as I really dislike Angel and yet am in love with Mauboussin, so they are hardly twins separated at birth. I think in that opening, somewhere, there is - to my nose - though I realise it may not resonate with anyone else - a kind of blue bubblegum smell that has you reminiscing about your childhood. It disappears quite rapidly, happily enough for me. Such notes should only really appear in perfumes for children or in honour of Z-list celebrities.

Oh, but this final stage has to be experienced - it is glorious, sumptuous and all-enveloping - a gently smoky vanilla laced through with cedar wood & benzoin. A close to the skin natural sexiness to die for. I know I should be saving this for the colder months ahead, but I just don't think I can wait.

Thanks to Kama, I got to trial this unique perfume.

The first 10 mins are almost greasily alcoholic, but persevere & you will be rewarded with a particularly boozy plum scent that lasts & lasts.

This scent is ALL about the plum - deep, rich, intense, dark plum. At first it is very alcoholic - plum liquer is spot-on! I do not think of this as a chocolate scent but for a short time a deep cocoa graces my skin to emphasise the depths of the plum.

The plum brandy then settles into a rich fruity boozy jam - not a sweet jam, but one that has mellowed for many years with an almost dry, viscous quality. This then holds true for many hours before all that remains is the amber.

To my nose, I could not link it to Angel or L.Lempicka - but I do understand why Rach86 talks of cough syrup & Kama is spot on with the Prada similarities in its last gasp.

For me, it is very unique & very grown-up 'plum'. I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did!

LadyJedi

This one was a disappointment for me - a very weird smell, not feminine at all. Kind of woodsy and smokey, lacks the sweetness I need. Though strange and not wearable for me, I have to admit that it comes in a real gem of a bottle!

blueberrypie

When I first put this on I thought I smelt like someone poured an entire bottle of plum liquor out over my head. I was just about ready to jump right back in the shower to scrub it off when it suddenly mellowed and started smelling like actual perfume. I'm glad I waited for a little while instead of scrubbing right away because if I had, I would've never known what a great scent this really is.
It's sweet, woodsy and ambery but not overly so. It's exactly right.
Not a warm weather scent though, this one is best saved for cool/cold days.
Staying power on me is great, it lasts me at least 8 hours. And that's for the EdT.

This is the changing flavor of men.Kogato me ask: How is it? Replied-Аgent Provokateur + sweeter than me plum.Wonderful! Got a compliment:)

Kama

Thanks to Jalutschka I received this perfume in swap. I was so thrilled by all reviews that I really wanted to have it… and I am glad I do!
I start from the bottle..it is very original bottle, nice box…
Then the 1st spray – it is a bit hard…almost like I needed to learn how to spray it..but it was just 1st spray like that..now it works perfect.

I sprayed and the 1st think was sour smell of plum…pretty uncommon, very intense smell of plum mixed with brandy! It is heavy oriental plum that starts to change from brandy plum into chocolate plum…and that is where I really start to love it…

After 1 hour I can smell really yummy chocolate… it is so yummy that I sniff myself once in 10 minutes…

After few hours the chocolate smell changes into nice sweet fog of vanilla, sandalwood and amber.. and it is where It starts to remind me of Prada...

Apr 02 2009

Rach86

The top notes on me scream Robitussin cherry cough syrup. I'm not familiar enough with the particular notes in Mauboussin to tell you which ones are causing that smell.

Once that calms down I get a really nice peach and ylang-ylang. It's a gorgeous, soft scent.

The dry down on me is a pleasant sandalwood and amber.

Savasana

I like Mauboussin. On me patchouli comes out first and foremost then there is a wonderful dry fruit accord nicely blended in with it and something delicious that makes it very creamy and smoky. Personally I don't find too much of a resemblance to Angel but I do think it's quite reminiscent of Prada. I have and love all three :)

Mar 05 2009

tommy_girl

it's like a less gourmand version of angel mixed with a drop of lolita lempicka.
it's very similar to angel specially in middle notes.very sweet & delicious like you're passing in front of a confectionery.it's a bit woodsy,but not spicy at all.it's not as long lasting as angel and losts it's sweetness sooner.yet I can't call it anything else rather than a version of angel.

I bought this because I love fruity chypre scents but this is sooo strong. Not for the faint-hearted.

Interesting, very interesting. A friend of mine had it, and maybe I'm wrong but I found some resemblance with 'Shalimar' of Guerlain, which I like a lot

Mauboussin is a powerful fragrance, a 'here I am' one, very oriental, deep and a very rich one

girlsrideharleys2

I bought this for my MIL knowing she was a huge fan of Tabu. I find the two of these scents similar so I got her this one year for Christmas and, the rest is history. She loves it and wears it exclusively in colder weather. She gets alot of compliments for it as well. The bottle is very different and kind of hard to handle.
